Google to Face Off Against Oracle Next Week in $8.8 Billion Lawsuit

The retrial of a lawsuit for copyright between the two technology giants is about to begin.

Although a Google Jury alphabet orders to pay a total of $8.8 Billion sought by Oracle in an upcoming trial copyright of San Francisco by the Android operating system, shareholders and analysts say it is likely to have little impact on the results of the search giant.

Oracle says Google Android violated its copyright on parts of the Java programming language, while Google says it should be able to use Java without paying a fee under the provision on the legitimate use of copyright.

The case was tried earlier in 2012, but a jury deadlocked. If the new jury in the trial that began Monday against Google rules about fair use, then the damage will be considered.

Google (GOOG 0.82%) made $ 75 billion in revenue in 2015, so even a large verdict for Oracle would have little impact on investors, because it would be a burden on time, said Mike Bailey, director of search Partners FBB capital, which owns shares in alphabetical format, parent company Google.

Oracle (ORCL -0.15%) is also seeking an injunction against future use of Google Android Java, which Oracle would give more power to negotiate a current rate. However, such a warrant should be issued by a judge, not a jury, and legal experts believe that it is a remote possibility.

After the first trial, Judge William Alsup of US District It found that the material in question in the case should not be subject to copyright at all. A federal appeals court overturned that decision, however, say that the structure of the computer language that connects programs can be protected.

An Oracle representative did not respond to a request for comment and a spokesman for Google declined to comment.

An expert hired for damages Oracle believes that Google took in $ 29 billion in advertising revenue and gross search for Android devices since its inception, according to court documents, plus an additional $ 11.6 million in sales of Android applications and phones.
